Garden of Life Proteins: Something for Everyone

It is not unusual for our customers
to be bewildered by the myriad selection of protein powders on our shelves.
Some, like whey and egg white, are derived from animals; others are
single-source plant proteins like soy, hemp or pea; and a large number of them
are mixed plant proteins that are blended to provide a complete amino acid
profile. How is one to choose?

WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON

All Garden of Life protein powders
are certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. All are derived from
whole foods (sprouted grains and seeds) with high bioavailability (98%). In
addition, they are all certified vegan (therefore dairy- and egg-free), NSF
certified gluten-free and certified Kosher by the Orthodox Union. Another
certification that some of you may not have heard of before is Informed-Choice,
which means that they are tested for banned substances by the world class
sports anti-doping lab, LGC (formerly HFL Sport Science). In addition, all of
these proteins contain no soy, they are low in sugar (0-1.5 grams per serving)
and all come in single serve packets which are great for traveling.

HOW THEY DIFFER

RAW Organic Protein is a delicious
blend of easily digested organic plants that supplies 22 grams of protein per
serving; RAW food-created fat-soluble Vitamins A, D, E and K; 1 billion CFU
(colony forming units) of live probiotics with prebiotic guar and carob bean
gums; and 12 enzymes. You get all of this with no sugar for about 100 calories.
This is a great way to boost your muscle-building protein intake. It comes in
four flavors: Original, Chocolate Cacao, Vanilla and Vanilla Spiced Chai.

Organic Plant Protein is a unique
blend of organic Paleo-friendly (low lectin) pea seed, flax seed, cranberry
seed, baobab fruit, moringa leaf, chia seed and pumpkin seed with an incredible
smooth texture and great taste that will appeal to the whole family. Each
serving offers 15 grams of high-quality protein and the full complement of
essential amino acids including 3 grams of naturally occurring branched chain
amino acids. In addition, you get 19 naturally occurring vitamins and minerals,
2-4 grams of fiber, 1 billion CFU of probiotics plus 13 enzymes to enhance
digestion. It comes in at only 100 calories and less than 1 gram of sugar for
all except chocolate which is 1.5 grams of sugar. It is available in five flavors:
Smooth Unflavored, Smooth Chocolate, Smooth Energy, Smooth Vanilla and Smooth
Coffee.

RAW Protein & Greens is the
perfect choice for those looking for an extra energy boost. It is a nutritional
dynamic duo of Organic RAW Plant Protein & Sprout Blend plus Organic RAW
Greens & Veggie Blend. You get 20 grams of protein, plus concentrated green
energy from raw, organic greens and green juices with less than 1 gram of
naturally occurring sugar in every serving. To enhance immunity and digestion
they have added 1.5 billion CFU of probiotics and 13 enzymes. This one comes in
three flavors: Lightly Sweet, Chocolate Cacao and Vanilla.

Low glycemic RAW Fit is the right
fit for people who want to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and lose weight without
stimulants or appetite suppressors. It starts out with RAW Organic Sprouted
Protein Blend (28 grams per serving) and adds 400 mg of clinically studied, fat
burning Svetol® (naturally decaffeinated green coffee bean extract standardized
to 45-50% chlorogenic acid) plus ashwagandha for stress management and to curb carb
cravings. Baobab fruit, chromium (120 mcg) and cinnamon help keep glucose in
balance and stop sugar cravings while 4-6 grams of high quality fiber enhances
satiety. And, of course, Garden of Life includes a probiotic and enzyme blend
as well. RAW Fit has 0 grams of sugar and only 170 calories per serving. It
comes in four flavors: Unflavored, Chocolate Cacao, Marley Coffee and Vanilla.

RAW Organic Meal is a complete
whole-food meal replacement that is the smart choice for people with hectic
lives who may find it difficult to take time to prepare a nutritious meal. A one-scoop
serving has 20 grams of high-quality protein from 13 organic sprouted grains
and seeds, 44 superfoods including organic grass juices, fruits and veggies,
Vitamin Code vitamins and 5 grams of fiber to keep you feeling satisfied.
Probiotics (1.5 billion CFU) and 13 enzymes add to this nutritionally
concentrated shake-and-take meal. All four flavors, Original, Chocolate Cacao, Vanilla
and Vanilla Spiced Chai, have just 1 gram of sugar and 120 calories per serving
making it the ideal “fast food.”
